Re: PdN's Sacrebleu vs. Sacrebleu Intense

I only have the Intense and have never tried the other. However, I have the same reaction as Donna - hate those top notes but they soon disappear and the heart and base are wonderful. It lasts forever on my scent-eating skin.
There's only a touch of incense.

Re: PdN's Sacrebleu vs. Sacrebleu Intense

I have this same question regarding all the PdN intense versions. When I bought No 1 intense a few months ago I asked this question specifically and was told it was the same as 'regular' No 1. The PdN site lists certain fragrances as 'intense' but doesn't have any other versions of them except the intense. No 1, Maharanih, Sacrebleu are a few of them. When I bought Maharanih last week at Scentbar in LA, the intense was the only version they have and it was the same price as the 'regular' version they used to sell.

Re: PdN's Sacrebleu vs. Sacrebleu Intense

I ordered a sample so I will compare. I have a decant of the regular Sacrebleu and it doesnt last long enough because my skin soaks up everything. I've read a few reviews and what confused me and stopped me from ordering the Intense version, is that a few ppl even said that the Intense one isnt more Intense at all? better safe than sorry.

Re: PdN's Sacrebleu vs. Sacrebleu Intense

Lovely assistant at PdN shop in Paris told me the difference is that Sacrebleu is EdT and includes cinnamon, whereas Sacrebleu intense is an EdP and replaces the cinnamon with vanilla. The effect (comparing sacrebleu on paper to sacrebleu intense on skin) is to soften the former taking out the initial hard edge, but to lose some of the depth. Like flavouring a fine French patisserie custard with the original scent. Different, the choice is yours.

Re: PdN's Sacrebleu vs. Sacrebleu Intense

i tried both!

the difference is very noticable in top notes:intense is vanilla fruity, while original more citrusy
then for anther 30 minutes intense is more sexy warm vanillalike, less cinamon and stronger! while original smells more cold, and woody to me
after 2 hours they become identical, or original smell takes over, it holds structure better ,and they become almost identical!! so intense is noticably intense only at the beginning
